There's a more sophisticated book on hand sewing for tailors. It's good, but it's basically a pamphlet, and as such, is rather expensive. You may be able to borrow it from a library.

Here's another book. It's for kids, but I'll bet some of the projects could be adapted for adults:

For garments, you will want to get a sewing machine. Even the finest clothing in the world usually has some machine stitching.

For small, hand-sewn projects, you might enjoy Zakka. Here's one book, but there are others on Amazon.
